TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ISAAC LEVINE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Spring Cuff; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of'this specification, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of this invention..

Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same.

Figure 3 is a modification thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to a cuff which instead of being made 111 the form of a closed cylinder, as usual, is cut open at one side, and provided with a coiled spring which allows the hand to pass freely through the cuff, and which, after the hand has entered, causes said cud to clasp the wrist tightly and to produce a good fit.

A represents a cuff, which is made of a flat. piece of fur or other suitable material. In this piece" or to its outer surface is fastened a coiled spring, B, which has a tendency to coil the cut? up close, and a pair of Indiarubber springs, a, may be applied to prevent the end from being opened or uncoiled any further than desirable.

By this arrangement a cuii" is obtained through which the hand can be passed quite freely, and after the hand has passed through, said cuil' will close up tight on the wrist, and not only produce a tight fit but it also keeps the Wrist warmer than a and" of the ordinary construction. A cut? of this description may also be readily so arranged that it can be reversed, and that it shows different kinds of fur or other material on its ends. A clasp of ornamental construction may he used to fasten the ends, as seen in fig. 3.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A can A, provided with spring B, and elastic retaining cords a, substantially as described.

ISAAC LEVINE.
